  • If "Off" is specified for "U. Auto Paper Select" and the printing option "autopaper" is not specified, the configuration for this item is disabled.

  • If either the "tray" or "paper" printing options is specified and the "autopaper" printing option is not specified, the configuration for this item is disabled.

  • If "freecut" or "nofreecut" is specified by a printing option "autopaper" or if a printing option "freesize" is specified, the configuration for this item is disabled.

  • If it turns out that a print image is a regular size image or if a printable paper input location is not available, the configuration for this item is disabled.

  • A paper input location will be identified as follows:

    1. The size of a print image size is identified.

    2. In a custom size image is printed, a paper input location for the image will be identified from short-width custom size paper input locations.

      • If the long edge of an image matches the width of a custom size paper input location, the image is printed on the paper from this paper input location.

      • If the short edge of an image matches the width of a custom size paper input location, the image is printed on the paper from this paper input location.

    3. If no custom size paper input location is identified for an image you want to print, the configuration for this item is disabled. If this is the case, the paper input location setting will be the same as that specified by "U. Auto Paper Select".

    4. If an image is printed on the paper from a custom size paper input location, the size of the custom size paper input location is not specified in the "Custom Size: Paper Input Location 1" and "Custom Size: Paper Input Location 2" of the "Emulation (EM)" tab under "Printer Settings".

Note

  • If the size of an image size less than the minimum cut length of a custom size paper input location, the size of the printed image the same as the minimum cut length.

Default: Off

Operations

  • If an image size is larger than the paper size, the image is reduced to match the paper for printing.

  • If an image size is smaller than the paper size, the image is printed in its original dimensions.

  • An image size is determined based on the setting for "d. Ratio Exempted from Auto Reduce".

  • If "Off" is selected, Auto Reduce is not applied.

  • Whether or not to automatically reduce an image size is determined according to the settings for "T. Auto Reduce/Enlarge to Scanned Image Size", "8. Reproduction Ratio", "J. Reduce/Enlarge Ratio: Horizontal", or "K. Reduce/Enlarge Ratio: Vertical" or the value specified for the "tifffit", "mag", "xmag", or "ymag" printing option.

  • If "b. Auto Reduce" is specified, selecting "On" for "P. Auto Reduce/Enlarge to Printable Area" or specifying "fit" in the printing option is ignored.

Note

  • If the "autoreduce" printing option is specified, the setting for "b. Auto Reduce" is ignored.

c. Margin Adjustment for Auto Reduce

Specify an adjustment value to be applied to the paper size specified in "b. Auto Reduce" or by the "autoreduce" printing option within the range of ± 100 mm in increments of 1 mm.

Default: 0 mm

Operations

  • The paper size specified in "b. Auto Reduce" is adjusted when printing.

  • The adjusted size only affects the calculation of the reduction ratio, and does not affect the reduction judgment size.

  • An image may be enlarged in some cases, if the values calculated from the paper size and the value specified in this setting are larger than the image size.

Illustration of Margin Adjustment for Auto Reduce

  1. Paper size - adjust value [mm]

  2. Paper size + adjust value [mm]

  3. Paper size

Note

  • If a value greater than the short-edge length of the paper selected in "b. Auto Reduce" is specified, this setting is ignored.

  • If "Off" is selected for "b. Auto Reduce", and the "autoreduce" printing option is not specified, the setting is ignored.

  • If a margin correction value is specified in the "autoreduce" printing option, the setting for "c. Margin Adjustment for Auto Reduce" is ignored.

d. Ratio Exempted from Auto Reduce

Specify an adjustment value to be applied to the "reduction judgment size" specified in "b. Auto Reduce" or by using the "autoreduce" printing option within the range of ± 50% in increments of 1%.

Default: 5%

Operations

  • The adjusted paper size only affects the reduction judgment size, and does not affect the calculated reduction ratio.

  • Specify an adjustment value to be applied to the reduction judgment size.

  • The "Reduction judgment size" is the size derived by multiplying the paper size by the setting for "d. Ratio Exempted from Auto Reduce". An image is reduced only when the image does not match this size.

    1. Paper size

    2. Reduction judgment size

Note

  • If "Off" is selected for "b. Auto Reduce" and the "autoreduce" printing option is not specified, this setting is ignored.

  • If an invalid ratio is specified in the "autoreduce" printing option, this setting is ignored.

e. Correct Fine Lines in Reduced Images

Specifies how to apply pixel adjustment to thin lines when printing reduced images. You can prevent thin lines on a printed image from disappearing.

Settings

  • Reduce Pixels

  • Correct Pixels for Horizontal Lines

  • Correct Pixels for Vertical Lines

  • Correct Horizontal & Vertical Line Pixels

Default: Correct Horizontal & Vertical Line Pixels

Operations

  • If "Reduce Pixels" is selected, an image is reduced in dimension by subtracting pixels.

  • If "Correct Pixels for Horizontal Lines" is selected, an image is reduced in dimension while applying pixel adjustment to the fine lines in the horizontal direction of the image.

  • If "Correct Pixels for Vertical Lines" is selected, an image is reduced in dimension while applying pixel adjustment to the fine lines in the horizontal direction of the image.

  • If "Correct Horizontal & Vertical Line Pixels" is selected, an image is reduced in dimension while applying pixel adjustment to the fine lines in both the vertical and horizontal directions of the image.

Conditions

  • If "Reduce Pixels" is specified, fine lines may disappear if an image is reduced in dimension.

  • If fine line correction by pixel correction is specified, a reducing/enlarging process changes, and the printed result may differ depending on the settings.

  • This setting has no effect on images printed in their original dimensions or enlarged.

  • Do not specify this setting when printing image TIFF data. It may produce unintended results.

  • If either of the "magprocess", "magprocessx", "magprocessy", or "magprocessxy" printing option is specified, the setting for "e. Correct Fine Lines in Reduced Images" is ignored.

  • If either of "Correct Pixels for Horizontal Lines", "Correct Pixels for Vertical Lines", or "Correct Horizontal & Vertical Line Pixels" is specified, images may not be reduced if the amount of available memory is insufficient.
